Also, by your coöperative pronunciation example, people would be mispronouncing reëlect.
I’m not sure what you mean.
It’s pronounced co-operative and re-elect. Coöp needs it to not sound lime “coop” as in chicken coop. Reëlect needs it to not sound like “reel” as in fishing reel.
Would the dieresis be placed on top of the s in lineöfsight? Or would it be for vowels only?

It’s vowels only, and that’s funny. I hadn’t thought about it for my hypothetical “lineofsite” word.

You are right in that specific case, but I was thinking of another case of pronunciation: where to put the stress.
Co-operative —> co ó perative Re-elect ----> re e léct.
But maybe OP wasn’t referring to that.
